Rob E Dangerously 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2004 Nationals is such a lame nickname Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2004 Two things: 1) What league is this team in -- American or National? 2) It looks like an American/National league symbol. I don't like it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2004 They're still in the National League East. The original Washington Senators were officially known as the Nationals for much of their original run, but the fans never bought that. I can live with the logo. I believe MLB.com is running the press conference live at noon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2004 Well, if the "W" would mean they're a pro-Bush team, then they're probably going to rival the Yanks in payroll... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Wart Report post Posted November 22, 2004 Those hats are hideous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest P!NK. Report post Posted November 22, 2004 Not exactly the sexiest sports logo. Then again, the old Expos logo was abysmal too so cheers to tradition, I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Highland 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2004 Finally! Finally there's a logo more hideous than the 3rd alternate jersey's of the Boston Bruins: The Caps for the Washington Nationals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smues Report post Posted November 22, 2004 2) It looks like an American/National league symbol. That's the first thing I thought of when I say it. Looks like the logo the players would wear for the all-star game. Name is fine, logo could use a little tinkering, hat needs a complete makeover. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Open the Muggy Gate 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2004 Oh shit... a W on the hat. A pro-Bush team! *RUNS THE OTHER WAY* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2004 This is why I said they should have DC on the caps. THey will sooner or later Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hektik 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2004 They do have a DC logo on their MLB website Personally, I think they should be called the DC Nationals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2004 You can't have a fucking team named after the LEAGUE they are in? I hate Canadians even more now for inducing this change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2004 You can't have a fucking team named after the LEAGUE they are in? I hate Canadians even more now for inducing this change. I never knew Jeff Loria was a Canadian. Don't blame the fans when the owner basically said, "Don't come watch this team!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2004 I would of prefered Washington Grays. Nice tribute, and different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2004 Considering it was the name of a Negro league team. Those complaining can fuck off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brett Favre 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2004 The W on the cap looks like the grim reaper. The Logo is fine though, although I would have preferred Senators. Nationals in the National league doesn't sound to good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2004 Considering it was the name of a Negro league team. Those complaining can fuck off. A Negro League team from Pittsburgh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2004 Actually they played quite a few games around the Washington area as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2004 Right, but the Homestead Grays were based in Pittsburgh moreso than Washington. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2004 Yes, but the point is that they have clear ties to the Washington area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2004 Which is true, but Grays is an unrelentingly shitty name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
